Prime-Ark Traveler Thornless Blackberry Plants – Rubus Starter Plugs | Set of 3 | Everbearing Sweet Berries | Bare Root Garden Fruit | Easy to Grow

Grow delicious berries at home with this set of 3 Prime-Ark Traveler Thornless Blackberry plants (Rubus ‘Prime-Ark Traveler’). Developed by the University of Arkansas, this modern variety is known for producing medium to large, sweet berries with a firm texture and reduced acidity.

Prime-Ark Traveler is a primocane-fruiting (everbearing) blackberry, meaning it can produce fruit on first-year canes as well as second-year growth, allowing for extended harvest seasons. The berries are flavorful and firm, making them excellent for fresh eating, baking, preserves, and home harvest storage.

This variety grows with an upright habit, typically reaching 4–6 feet tall, and is easy to maintain in garden beds, raised beds, berry rows, or large containers. While the plants can grow without support, a trellis system helps manage heavy fruit loads and improves airflow.

Starter plugs ship bare root with no pot and measure approximately 3–6 inches tall, ready to plant upon arrival.

You will receive:
✔️ 3 live Prime-Ark Traveler blackberry starter plugs
✔️ Size: approximately 3–6 inches tall
✔️ Thornless everbearing variety
